Horror Not Forgotten
Organizations that assist Holocaust survivors would share up to $25 million under a bill the House sent President Clinton on Tuesday. The measure, approved by voice vote, also authorizes an additional $5 million for archival research to help with the restitution of assets that were looted or extorted from Holocaust victims. House sponsor Rep. James Leach, R-Iowa, above, said the measure seeks to provide some “material redress” for the inadequate restitution of assets belonging to Holocaust victims that were seized by the U.S. government during World War II.
